Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for magnetoresistive asymmetry compensation using a hybrid analog and digital compensation scheme. In certain embodiments, a method may comprise receiving an analog signal at a continuous-time front end (CTFE) circuit, and performing, via the CTFE circuit, first magnetoresistive asymmetry (MRA) compensation on the analog signal to adjust the dynamic range of the analog signal based on an input range of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The method may further comprise converting the analog signal to a digital sample sequence via the ADC, and performing, via a digital MRA compensation circuit, second MRA compensation to correct residual MRA in the digital sample sequence. Offset compensation may also be performed in both the analog and digital domains.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for magnetoresistive asymmetry (MRA) compensation using a digital compensation scheme. In certain embodiments, a method may comprise receiving an analog signal at a continuous-time front end (CTFE) circuit, and performing analog offset compensation to constrain an extremum of the analog signal to adjust a dynamic range based on an input range of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), rather than to modify the analog signal to have a zero mean. The method may further comprise converting the analog signal to a digital sample sequence via the ADC; performing, via a digital MRA compensation circuit, digital MRA compensation on the digital sample sequence; receiving, via a digital backend (DBE) subsystem, the digital sample sequence prior to digital MRA compensation; and generating, via a DBE, a bit sequence corresponding to the analog signal based on an output of the DBE subsystem and an output of the digital MRA compensation circuit.

Abstract: An error recovery process provides for identifying a set of failed data blocks read from a storage medium during execution of a read command, populating sample buffers in a read channel with data of a first subset of the set of failed data blocks, and initiating an error recovery process on the data in the sample buffers. Responsive to successful recovery of one or more data blocks in the first subset, recovered data is released from the sample buffers and sample buffers locations previously-storing the recovered data are repopulated with data of a second subset of the set of failed data blocks. The error recovery process is then initiated on the data of the second subset of the failed data blocks while the error recovery process is ongoing with respect to data of the first subset of failed data blocks remaining in the sample buffers.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for constrained receiver parameter optimization. Two parameter optimization functions may be applied, with one function providing constraints on the results of the second function in order to determine a parameter set to apply in the receiver. A method may comprise determining a first parameter set based on a first function, determining a second parameter set based on a second function different from the first function, and determining a third parameter set by using the first parameter set to define a subset of a parameter space to which to limit values from the second parameter set. In certain embodiments, a least squares function may be used to constrain the results of a general cost function.

Abstract: An apparatus can include a circuit configured to process an input signal using a set of channel parameters. The circuit can produce, using a first adaptation algorithm, a first set of channel parameters for use by the circuit as the set of channel parameters in processing the input signal. The circuit can further approximate a second set of channel parameters of a second adaptation algorithm for use by the circuit as the set of channel parameters in processing the input signal based on the first set of channel parameters and a relationship between a third set of channel parameters generated using the first adaptation algorithm and a fourth set of channel parameters generated using the second adaptation algorithm. In addition, the circuit can perform the processing of the input signal using the second set of channel parameters as the set of channel parameters.

Abstract: An apparatus may include a circuit including a filter configured to update one or more adaptive coefficients of the filter based on an error signal. Further, the circuit may update a constrained coefficient of the filter based on the one or more adaptive coefficients, the constrained coefficient and a desired value. Moreover, the circuit may generate a sample of a sample sequence based on the one or more adaptive coefficients and the updated constrained coefficient, the error signal being based on the sample sequence.

Abstract: A method may generate a demodulated sine component for a sequence of samples of a servo burst window of a position error signal using a sine weight look up table and generate a demodulated cosine component for the sequence of samples of the servo burst window of the position error signal using a cosine weight look up table. The sine weight and the cosine weight look up tables may have indexes representing a phase range. The method may generate a demodulated phase component signal and a demodulated amplitude component signal for the sequence of samples of the servo burst window of the position error signal based on the demodulated sine component and the demodulated cosine component using a Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer at least in part by iteratively rotating a vector based on the demodulated sine component and the demodulated cosine component and summing angular changes in the vector.

Abstract: An apparatus may comprise a circuit configured to receive first underlying data corresponding to a first signal with a first rate and receive a second signal with a second rate corresponding to second underlying data. The circuit may interpolate the first underlying data to generate a plurality of interpolated signals, determine, for the first signal, a first channel pulse response shape with the first rate, and determine an interference component signal based on the plurality of interpolated signals and the first channel pulse response shape. The circuit may then cancel interference in the second signal using the interference component signal to generate a cleaned signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting and compensating for timing excursions in a data channel. If a signal contains discontinuities in phase, a detector of the channel may lose lock on the signal, resulting in the channel incorrectly adjusting a sampling phase toward a following symbol or previous symbol. This is referred to as a cycle slip, where the integer alignment of the sampling of a signal contains a discontinuity over the duration of a sector, preventing decoding of the signal. A circuit may be configured to detect a cycle slip during processing of a signal at a data channel based on timing error values, and when the signal fails to decode, shift an expected sampling phase of a detector for a subsequent signal processing attempt. Shifting the expected sampling phase can cause the channel to adjust the sampling phase in the correct direction, thereby preventing a cycle slip.

Abstract: An apparatus may include a first and second servo channels configured to output first and second position information to first and second writers, respectively, via a shared write path such that the first and second writers write first and second position information to first and second magnetic recording medium surfaces, respectively. In addition, the apparatus may include a controller configured to control the shared write path such that write access is changed between the first servo channel and second servo channel a plurality of times during a revolution of the first magnetic recording medium surface and second magnetic recording medium surface.
